New YORK. March 26.-Six years of moth
er-in-law has reduced the once wealthy
contractor, ]. W. Dexter, to penury and
broken up his homs, according to his state
ment. His wife has brought suit before
Judge Allen, in the Court of Common
Pleas, for divorce on the ground of
cruelty and desertion. In 1880, Mrs Dex-
ter was living vita her mother Mrs. Lucy
B. Northrup. who kept boarding mousse in
Brooklyn. Mr. Dexter. who is twenty
years older than his wife, met her there,
and after briet courtship they were mar
ried. The wife accuses Dexter of getting
drunk and treating her very cruelty on
various occasions. This Dexter denies and
says that his wife's has been the
cause of the enlargement by
usurping his wife's place as the head of
the household. He says he repeatedly or
derei her to leave his house, and when she
finally did so about three we eks ago, his
wife went with her, taking also their two
children. He says he is still willing to
take back his VITA and be kind and low
ing husband, if the mother-in-law element
of the marriage can be eliminated. An APP
plicatien by Mrs. Dexter for alimony and
counsel fee, pending the suit, was refused.
The trial OF the case is set for the first
Monday in April.
